HENRY GEORGE says that the United
Labor Party will poll over 10000 votes In

WASHINGTON, OCTOBER 90, 1ss'
THE PRESIDENTS RETURN.

The President and Mrs. Cleveland
are in Washington again, after a long
Swing" around big "circle"
1t has no doubt been an agreeable
journey to both, and. barring the
melancholy Incident at Memphis and
the bad weather al Atlanta, devoid OF
all unpleasant episodes.
The journalistic exploit of Mime
spolis editor doesn't count in this con
pectlon. II Is one of those things that
the sooner forgotten IS the better dis.
posed OF.
But even The hospllaltics of our
friends may become so lavish and con.
tlnuous as TO grow wcarsome, and the
distinguished travellers are in all prob.
ability glad OF an opportunity for repose
after the exactlng pilgrimage which
they have performed
They have seen much OF the country
and lis people, have formed enlarged
ideas of the greatness and progressive.
ness Of both and have certainly abund.
ant reason to believe that, as master
and mistress of the Administration,
they are officially respected and per-
sondly liked.
The President however, returns to no
long season Of rest. He has before him
many months that will be fully occu.
pied with executive business. The
preparation of his message to Congress
is to be completed, Questions of i'm.
portance with which he is closely as.
soCia,ed are imminent, Cares and
duties and weighty responsibilities
await him. There are appointments to
make and civil service entanglements

icy to consider. lie will have little
time for recreation, In fact, before the
adjournment of the long session of
Congress, excepting such as may be
found in the perfunctory social courte.
sizes of the White House.
But he resumes the immediate dis
charge Of his public functions under
favorable auspices. There has been no
time since his Inauguration that he en-.
joyed the confidence OF the country as
an honest and capable official to the
same extent that he does now. His re-.
cent peregrinations among the people,
seeing and being seen, and studiously
avoiding all occasion for political criti
sism Of his movements, have added
largely to his popularity. That he will
sustain himself at this high level Of ap-
probation to the end is general be-
lief, in which even his opponents are
forced to concur

In that city as a great popular edu.
Gator" This it undoubtedly is, and
what is true of the exposition there is
true Of all similar exhibitions.
To consider them merely as specula.
tive enterprises. of which dividend to
the stockholders, or business boom to
the merchants. is the chief end and
object, Is to take narrow and sordid
view of their real usefulness. II is all
right that the men who put up their
money for such undertakings should
secure fair return on their invest
ments, but we are apt TO forget that the
benefits accruing to the general public
from these sources are u much more
important consideration and furnish
the strongest possible argument In
favor OF their maintenance as perma.
nent springs Of rational enjoyment
and useful knowledge.
In NO other way are the people
brought SO nearly face to face with the
facts of their own progress, and intro.
duced to such familiar acquaintance
with their own varied resources.
The Exposition In its highest sens
Is panoramic representation Of the
growth Of State or country In agricul.
ture and commerce, In art and science.

improvement, In wealth and power, In
all that makes commonwealth pros.
